The media and entertainment industry plays a significant role in a digitally driven economy as it is the only sector whose
content is affected directly by the digital medium. How will the dynamics of this digital demand and content mix play
out at a time when the country is actively reaching out to a digital transformation in its economy? Let us hear those who
have worked with the very building blocks.

1400-1500 hrs
Decoding the Pirate Economy in the Interconnected World: From noise to action
The creative economy is built on a framework of creative assets in the form of Copyright/ IP which translates into
economic value. India's creative industries continue to contribute to economic growth and cultural engagement through
the development of intellectual property. The growth of the internet has created new benefits and opportunities for
society at large, but it has also facilitated growth of online copyright infringement. Unfortunately, over the last few years,
online piracy has facilitated the emergence of a pirate economy, which increasingly threatens the economic performance
of the creative sector which is responsible for generating jobs, income and export earnings. Policy makers and experts
from the executive, legislature, judiciary and law enforcement arms of the government will deliberate on strategies and
unique enforcement models that need to be implemented to counter the underground pirate economy.
Powai Rooms 1 & 2 (March 21st, 2017)
1400-1500 hrs
Design-Led Content Creation - The Future
The success of the Indian content creation industry is largely driven by changing tastes and commercial success tends to
be one of happenstance! Be it the dependence on superstars or on a tried and tested “masala formula”, this industry is
searching for innovation and fresh thinking. Indians are famed for our “jugaad”, but does this work when high stakes are
involved in a creative sphere? The need of the hour lies in introducing a "systemic thinking process" to infuse a muchneeded vitality into the industry. This process is informed by the key tenets of “design thinking”, a concept working
wonders across so many industries today. The panel comprises several distinguished “design thinking” evangelists
who will share their perspectives and insights as to how design thinking could provide a boost to the media and
entertainment industry.
Ball Rooms 1 & 2 (March 21st, 2017)
1500-1600 hrs
Do the Lions Still Roar- A reality check for Media and Entertainment Industry & its contribution
The M&E industry has been a steady contributor to national revenues, employment growth and socio-economic
development; it has shown a trajectory of growth over the past 15 years, been at the real cusp of "Make in India" while
promoting Indian culture and its soft power globally. And yet it is largely dismissed as a glamour hub rather than a
serious economic nerve centre. Of late, the industry has seen a battle of wits between stakeholders and the Government,
thus preventing the sector from realizing its full potential. The narrative of Indian media and entertainment thus needs to
encapsulate both sides of the spectrum. Has the industry done enough to highlight its own story? Have the players in
the content ecosystem have done their part to address the industry's shortcomings or has the plot got lost in translation?
Doyens gather for a reality check and discuss why it takes them a 'scream' to attract regulatory attention while other
industries manage with just about a “sneeze”.
Powai Rooms 1 & 2 (March 21st, 2017)
1500-1600 hrs
Partnership in Progress: Indo- Canadian Co-Productions
A session focusing on the Co-Production Treaty and the Federal and Provincial view.

Connecting the Unconnected - Upgrading technology and infrastructure to the last mile
4G has finally been launched in India and has changed the market dynamics in the telecom sector. However, there have
been multiple challenges in terms of pricing, connectivity, spectrum, among other matters. On the other hand, multiple
initiatives too have formed around 4G by Google, Facebook, Microsoft etc. The government's initiatives are also focused
on connecting India within itself with the Digital India campaign, Railtel etc. even though sometimes the initiatives have
been efforts towards pushing agendas through. The idea however has been to provide empowerment, information,
services, jobs, e-governance etc.
In this panel, we look at the status of digital infrastructure & connectivity in India, the challenges, the learnings and
focus on the way ahead. The journey of transforming content to adapt to various 4 G platforms will only come from
overcoming the odds.
Ball Room 3 (March 21st, 2017)
1600-1700 hrs
The Woman is the Big Story - Breaking the Glass Ceiling of Misogyny in Indian M& E
Is Bollywood finally doing greater justice to its woman actors? There is enough evidence around us that a movement is
growing; scripts are becoming progressive and free of bias and finally Bollywood in its true sense is moving beyond plain
old love stories. Films like Pink, Sarabjit, Kahaani 2, Neerja and the more recent Dear Zindagi and Dangal are celebrating
the power and will of the ordinary women of India and their not- so-common stories. And yet there are many miles to go
till we can break the barriers of misogyny and declare ourselves truly gender neutral.

1030-1130 hrs
Grammar of the New TV Content
Not only did television change the world but even in the age of the internet, Facebook, and YouTube, it remains the most
powerful generator of our collective memories, the most seductive and shocking mirror of society, and the most virulent
incubator of social trends. Its critics categorise it into "good television", "bad television" and "too much television" but the
reality is that there is no escape from television! However, of late, the ground beneath TV has been changing rapidly due
to the evolution of both technologies and audience tastes. The experts on the panel discuss what really is the grammar of
TV content which could withstand the pulls and pressures of the time we live in.

Indo - UK Year of Culture
This session will highlight 2017's significance as the Indo-UK Year of Culture in a rare example of an Indo-UK coproduction and an interesting mix of government and private investment. The focus is on adapting Shakespeare (and in
this, TITUS ANDRONICUS, a particularly gory Shakespeare play) into an India setting. Also worthwhile is the fact that
its director is Bornila Chatterjee is a woman. While the West has been obsessed with finding female directors, India has
had them in droves! (And interestingly, an American version of the play, TITUS, was also directed by a woman, Julie
Taymor).

Chasing Viewership in a Digital Paradigm
The online video and TV market has become hyper-competitive as the demand for content grows exponentially and
viewership gets fragmented. Despite all the hype around new media, monetization continues to be a challenge due to
poor infrastructure, high data costs and low time spends. As a result, linear TV still takes home the lion's share of ad and
subscription revenues. So how real is the threat of online video to traditional TV? Or is TV here to stay with online video
continuing to be a catch-up or adjacent offering to consumers? In this session, leading heads of EDGE providers and
VODs analyze emerging trends on entertainment consumption habits and ensuing monetizing opportunities.
Ball Room 3 (March 22nd, 2017)
1430-1530 hrs
Case Study on Sairat: Method or Miracle
Marathi cinema has seen a meteoric rise in the last few years. Just a few years ago, a 10-crore collection was a
measure of success. And then last year Natsamrat touched 50 crores. This year it has surpassed all expectations and
a miracle of sorts has happened: Sairat touched 100 crores!! The team behind this mega blockbuster will address the
key question - Is Sairat a one-off miracle or is there a method behind this miracle?
Ball Rooms 1 & 2 (March 22nd, 2017)
1530 -1630 hrs
Film Co-Productions: Tapping talent pool across borders

cultural integration of on a global scale and provide a means to pool financial, creative and technical resources from
participating countries. The panel would shed some light on the potential to tap talent pool across borders via
co-productions.
Ball Room 3 (March 22nd, 2017)
1530 -1630 hrs
The 'Free-To-Air' growth story - Short Term Gain or Long term pain?
With rural India turning measureable and the continued uptake of DD FreeDish services in non-digitized markets;
Free-to-Air (FTA) channels have had sustained success in terms of ratings and advertiser spends in 2016. Content
windowing between primary channels and FTA channels has become blurred. While this has helped industry
growth, does this augur well for the industry from a subscription point of view? While broadcasters are gaining in
the short term from increased advertising revenues, is this enough to offset the shortfall in subscription revenues as
more consumers may choose DD FreeDish as opposed to Pay TV?
Powai Room 3 (March 22nd, 2017)
1530-1830 hrs

Censorship Woes: Bollywood's battle against a thousand cuts
The film industry is unique in the sense that it has to continually face "cultural criticism", something that's unheard of
in other sectors. While it is true that the media and entertainment sector has the onerous responsibility of shaping
and influencing public opinion, there remains the frustrating and endless debate of "Certification vs. Censorship"
which is yet to reach a conclusion. Given these challenges, how is it possible for the creative community to satisfy
all shades, and, at the same time, live up to the expectations of aficionados, audiences, investors, and regulators
altogether?
Ball Room 3 (March 22nd, 2017)
1630 - 1730 hrs
Media & Entertainment Workforce: Bridging the talent gap
The Indian Media and Entertainment industry is on the cusp of a strong phase of growth driven by evolution of multiple
platforms and new technologies. The industry offers immense scope of work calling for sophistication in both hard and
soft skillsets. However, there is an urgent need to provide Indian youth with tailor-made and industry-vetted educational
courses that bridge the gap between academia and the typical requirements of the sector. The experts in the panel
share their experience on the state of the media curriculum in the country and the way to address the demand and supply
gap.

The Spectacle of the Future: Storytelling with the advent of VR/AR
Immersive media including its constituents Virtual Reality and Augmented Reality are becoming common terminologies
in the content lexicon of the day. As the global media and entertainment sector continues to push the boundaries of
creativity and engagement creating more immersive experiences, artists and technologists have an immense
opportunity to participate in one of the most dramatic turning points in the history story telling. The year ahead will be a
critical inflection point for VR/AR since devices are proliferating the landscape and there is a race for a seamless
experience. An increasing number of content creators in storytelling for entertainment and brands are experimenting
with this medium to convey their message. This panel explores the state of the art & possibilities of where the immersive
content experience is today; the challenges that remain and will showcase pioneering examples of the projects that have
leveraged these path-breaking mediums in 2016-17.

The Changing Face of Indian Sports
The global sports sector is estimated to be worth anywhere between $480-620 billion. But in India sport is yet to be
recognized as an economic sector, as there has been little or no comprehensive study done on the industry's size,
potential, and on the available opportunities that are on offer. After the success of the Indian Premier League in cricket,
there have been numerous leagues across different sports thereby indicating that India has tremendous business
potential, especially in the fields of broadcasting, marketing, management, sponsorship, merchandise, sports medicine,
and tourism. Will professional leagues change Indian sports for the better? How likely is India to emerge as a force to
reckon with in the international sporting arena? Do the recent judicial pronouncements have ramifications? The
connoisseurs of sports in the panel discuss the road ahead for the development of sports in India.

India Needs a DD Kids’ Channel
Are we creating sensible children programmes? Kids' channels in India are roughly about 3% of the total number of
channels with limited Indian content. Programming for children for television is a responsible job; sensible and
responsible children's programming has the objective of making youngsters imbibe a sense of responsibility & morality.
To strengthen the kids' content industry and bring about sustainability, stability and growth to the artist community and
other stakeholders in the industry, India needs a Free-to-Air Terrestrial Kids' Channel. The panel would shed light on the

The Digital Rat Race: Strategies for Survival
As consumption moves towards digital means, organizations are looking at building digital models to reach consumers.
However, digital models are early in their evolution and operate on very different economic structures as compared to
traditional models. This has resulted in a push and pull between subscribers, revenues, profitability, and cash flows. Let
us examine strategies which are all still very nascent and yet have the potential to become gamechangers.

Bollywood in trouble? Will Hollywood and Regional Take Over? Is Indian Cinema in any kind of trouble?
Bollywood box office performance has been flattening in the face of inconsistent content. Unviable movie economics are
making major studios take a hard look at their strategies and movie pipelines. Would we see Hollywood and regional
content step up to take advantage of this gap?

Masterclass with Dheeraj - How to make great comics?
There is a big gap in between Bollywood and comics and that's the reason we aren't able to produce movies like Avengers
which made 1.52 billion USD on a budget of 220 million USD. Even in the 90s, superstar Amitabh Bachchan had a comic-
based superhero version of himself - Supremo - written by none other than Gulzar Sahab and illustrated by the amazing
Pratap Mullick. Comics are a huge part of pop culture and a sure-shot way of reaching large audiences. In a nutshell, why
do we wait for the West; why not make movies similar to Hollywood in the comics genre?

Cold, Factual Reportage or Dominating Opinion: Is there even a middle road?
Ball Rooms 1 & 2 (March 23rd, 2017)
In the post-truth world that we inhabit currently, truth seems to have become a casualty in news reportage. Dramatic
rhetoric clouded by opinion has crept into the various narratives of news. Can we really let our age-old messengers of
truth, those who "should tell us like it is" and those who need to hold up the mirror to society be swayed by the power of
plain opinion? An array of newspeople examine a complex question in this session.

Indian Print - Looking inward to profitability
The Indian print growth story continues to be strong as compared to global markets. However, over the last few years,
growth rates have started to slow down due to saturation and digitization. Print companies are now looking inwards
towards operational efficiencies to not only improve bottomlines but to also operate in an increasingly digitised
environment.

Media for Greater Good
Research sometimes suggests that media and movies can be a negative influence and have to be reined in. But new
studies highlight media's potential to spread goodness on a wide scale. The research on positive media is still evolving.
But so far, it suggests that when we select inspiring content on TV, in films, or through social media, we're not just
making ourselves feel good for the moment. We're nurturing our instincts for compassion and kindness. This panel looks
to influencers who harness the power of media to drive social change. Some of them work strategically to pair the media
space with causes at the local, national, and global levels. Some utilize existing and emerging technologies to increase
awareness around important causes.

The Flavour of the Season is the Biopic
The year 2016 saw a rush of spectacular and well-researched biopics, namely, MS Dhoni, Dangal, Sarabjit, and Aligarh. Is
the success of the biopic all about intense hero worship? How much do real life drama, a well- researched and balanced
script, marketing, and effective distribution matter in the cocktail of success? Let us ask the makers and the studios.
